How do you counterplay tristana?

Seeing how she's at a 47% w/r in higher elo would show there is a method to beat her, but I can't seem to figure out how. She is the safest ADC to play with a self peel and a dash reset. It's almost impossible to lock her down in teamfight as any engage on her would be disengaged by her ult. In the case of jhin, if you managed to hop on him, he's dead. With trist, it's 1 AA and you get sent back to fountain.

poke defeats trist. Trist is legit the weakest adc besides Kalista

She has an escape and an offensive steroid but cant counterpoke when poked and "sent back to the fountain"

Hard engage and poke work well against Tristana. At the end of the day she's an ADC, shes squishy and takes a lot of items to turn online. Soften her up with a few ranged abilities, if you have none dive on her as you would a jhin. Jhin is stupid easy to dive because he has no escape, trist only has one rocket jump. You can catch Trist just like you would any other ADC, having more than one hard CC is preferable. Hook champions also work well in the lane, such as bliz, pyke or thresh. It honestly just depends on your feel of the game. she cant rocket jump all the time, just once, unless she kill s someone.

Tristana is squishy and CD reliant. Her W is 22 seconds long and her damage is tied into her E and Q. :/ she has a terrible mid game, before she gets items and a terrible early game as well as she cant really effectively trade and has a very short range. She wants to all in as a result because she honestly loses in aggressive poke lanes and she'll be useless in teamfights later because she doesn't have items or range to actually contribute. She's honestly not that difficult to deal with. You bait her jump and then shes a sitting duck for almost half a minute.

Leona Is usually a nice pick when I face a Tristana as support. Wait for her to jump and then u lock her down.
